Our Founder, Harpreet Bhullar
Chaithentic began with a simple belief: chai should taste as authentic at home as it does in an Indian kitchen. I grew up in Canada making chai daily for my grandmother and mom—a ritual full of warmth, tradition, and love.
After moving to California, I noticed that cafés were serving syrupy versions that didn’t reflect the real spices or flavors I knew. That inspired me to create Chaithentic: a brand that makes true chai blends and shortbread cookies with only a handful of high-quality ingredients. As a South Asian woman-owned business, my vision is to share the beauty of chai while honoring my roots. Our new branding—peacock feathers in bold blue—celebrates Indian heritage while standing out with modern elegance. Chaithentic is more than just chai and cookies—it’s about authenticity, connection, and a luxury experience. Each sip is meant to feel like a hug in a mug.
